Here are the top three stories today in Bentonville:

1. If you love a good vintage find, you'll want to mark your calendars for Vintage Market Days, headed to the Benton County Fairgrounds from Apr. 8-10. The spring shopping event in Bentonville features upscale vintage-inspired items, including art, clothing, handmade treasures, and more. Attendees can also enjoy live music, food trucks, and even pony rides for the kids. (KFSM 5Newsonline)
2. As COVID-19 cases continue to dwindle across Arkansas, a local doctor says the region is now better positioned to handle any possible upswings or outbreaks than in the past. "With more vaccines and more effective therapies becoming available, hopefully, we'll be able to manage much better than we had over the last two years," said Dr. Steppe Mette with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Dr. Mette noted the next wave will likely be milder in intensity with fewer patients affected; however, the virus isn't going away completely, and "we can expect to see COVID in our communities for many years to come."

3. Looking for a new full-time or part-time job in the Bentonville area? Each week, Patch and ZipRecruiter gather the latest local job listings and compile them for readers.
